Fransiskus Hótel

We recently stayed at this hotel and overall, it was a great experience. The location is excellent, making it easy to explore the surrounding area. The hotel itself is cozy and well-equipped with all the amenities needed for a relaxing stay. The staff are exceptionally welcoming and helpful—they even send a detailed welcome email before arrival with useful information, which really helps make check-in smooth. Our room, while not particularly spacious, was perfectly designed to maximize comfort. It was clean, well-maintained, and had everything we needed for a pleasant stay. Breakfast was varied, delicious, and well-prepared. However, one downside was how rushed we felt towards the end of the breakfast period. A staff member repeatedly reminded us that breakfast ended at 10 AM, starting around 9:40 AM, almost like a countdown. We completely understand the need to respect the timing, but guests should be able to enjoy their meal without feeling pressured to finish in a hurry well within the allotted time. One unique and special feature of the hotel is the chapel incorporated into the building. Whether you’re a religious person or not, it’s well worth a visit. It’s a peaceful and serene spot, perfect for taking a few quiet moments to reflect and unwind after a long day of traveling.

This is a most unusual hotel. It was a convent and still has a chapel off the lobby. It was clean, quiet and comfortable. We slept very well. Our room had a nice view of the harbor. Restaurants are within easy walking distance. Breakfast was quite nice with a good variety of food.

My fiancé and I had a wonderful experience at this hotel. Daniel and Sam were incredibly friendly and hospitable and made our time in Stykkishólmur memorable. They both went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed, and meeting them was the highlight of our trip. As an LGBTQ couple we felt very welcome and safe. Our room had an amazing view and was very clean and comfortable (the pillows were amazing!). Breakfast each morning had rotating options and plenty to choose from, and the staff was friendly and helpful. Thanks again Daniel and Sam, we will absolutely be back next time!

The ramp to access the hotel from the parking can be very slippery in winter. Be careful. The place looks like an old hospital and the smell come with it. Our room was dirty and poorly isolated. The heating wasn’t enough, especially in the bathroom. Lot of unnecessary food for the breakfast, I would have preferred less but better quality. The price is already too high for the service offered.

We were able to see northern lights from our bedroom! Room is small, similar to other hotel rooms in Iceland. Breakfast is amazing.

Fantastic room with an amazing view! Very clean and nicely arranged hotel. Would highly recommend! The town is small, so if you plan on going out to dinner, make reservations in advance.

Beautiful hotel! Clean, good position and has everything you Need ( tea, coffee, hairdryer.....) i Will come back!

My wife and I stayed here the night we arrived by ferry boat from the West Fjords. It’s literally a two minute drive when getting off the boat, and easy to find. Keep in mind it is a “religious” hotel with Sunday mass at the location, but they host guests of all religions or none at all. No reason to feel uncomfortable about this. We found the hotel to be quiet, inviting, and clean, though the room we had was quite small with no view since it looked over the temporary parking in front of the lobby. The bathroom was perhaps the smallest and plainest we had of all hotels we stayed at in Iceland, and had almost no sink space. So keep that in mind if 2+ people are staying in the room. I liked the buffet breakfast, and the breakfast room is huge for a hotel this size. Didn’t feel cramped at all, compared to many other hotel breakfast rooms. The selection is good, including a sweet tasting herring that I loved!
